Julie Joy nabbed her fourth UK ?Gymnast of the Week? after an outstanding All-Around showing against Ball State on Senior Night. Joy claimed the All-Around meet title with a season-high 39.275 and led the Wildcats to their second win of the season.
?Julie has shown how tough of a competitor she is in these last few weeks,? Coach ?Mo? Muhammad said. ?She has been a leader and inspiration to this team. Julie wants to finish her career strong and that?s just what she is doing.?
In addition to All-Around honors, Joy claimed the individual bars title (9.875) and first-place on beam with a career-best 9.800. The Villa Park, Ill., native has scored a 9.850 or better on bars in four consecutive weeks. She has also improved her beam and floor scores in recent weeks.
